Fly Tuning the HRW Way!

[goosenapper]

It looks like pen tubing will be a lot easier for me to source than the vinyl stuff. I'll keep my eye out for it though. I have a few of these front-motored Fly's and I'll try just about anything that's an upgrade over the existing spring. Thanks for the tips.

Goose, I've used the pen tube on several and it seems to work well. Some of the "refills" are a bit small in diameter but if you flair the ends just a bit with a tool like a probe or icepick you get a nice snug fit. Make sure you cut above the "ink level" when sourcing your coupling particularly when the tube isn't clear(ask me how I know :doh: ).

I cut the writing tip off, then press my air hose duster into the end, aimed into a big trash can in my shop full of rags or paper that's being tossed out. It just takes seconds. To get the last little bit out, I use a little 91% isopropyl in an old crystal case top. Pass a pipe cleaner through and there you are, at least six cars' worth of joiners completely clean.

Has anyone done this Fly tune using the stock Fly bushings?
Just looking for a way to save a few bucks per car.

You mean the rear axle bushings? Yes, I leave mine in most times. Sometimes though, there is so much slop that you do not get all the vibration out, then you have to pony up and get some better fitting bushings.
